The NWFL is an America based Blood Bowl League. The League set up mimics the NFL season from the Rookie Draft all the way to the Superior Bowl Champion. There are two seasons run per calendar year. Odd seasons are ran from February thru July and even seasons run in unison with the NFL from August thru January. There is an Open Round Robin tournament played as a preseason opener, Round Robin format tournaments played as the regular season, and at the end of the regular season the top teams will earn their way into the playoffs to determine the League Championship in a KO format tournament.

This is a Private League. Participants are accepted by invitation only. If you are interested in joining this league and/or being put on the contact list for future openings you may contact OTS via PM.

To kick off the season all teams will be entered in an open round robin tournament. Each coach is allowed to play 3 games. Scheduling the games will be the responsibility of each coach. You may play up to 3 games but you may not play the same team twice. The primary purpose of this tournament is to allow coaches a chance to develop and/or fine tune their teams as they see fit before the regular season without penalty in the standings. Secondly it is intended to be a warm-up to the regular season by generating competition and rivalry.

Regular Season

The regular season will be run as (2) round robin format tournaments. Each team will play every other team in their respective division twice, every team from one other division in the same conference once, and every team from one division in the opposite conference once. The schedule from season to season for what divisions will play each other will rotate on a regular basis.

Cross-Conference play for Season 16Division match-ups will be:

AWC South v NWC East
AWC North v NWC South
AWC West v NWC North
AWC East v NWC West

Inner-Conference play will be handled in the second half of the season.
Divsion match-ups for Season 16 will be: EAST vs. SOUTH, NORTH vs. WEST.

In order to eliminate overtime during the regular season, standings will be kept by using a point system with (2) points being awarded for a win, (1) point for a draw, and (0) points for a loss.

At the end of the regular season the team(s) with the most TDs and the most CAS will win the appropriate badge(s) from the “Team Honors” section below. Division Champions will be allowed to add 20k to their TV cap for the following season (this can stack with other award earnings).
